What aftercare is recommended following shockwave therapy physiotherapy?

After a shockwave therapy physiotherapy session, you can return to your normal daily activities straight away. However, Advantage Physiotherapy recommends avoiding high-impact exercise or strenuous use of the treated area for 48 hours. If you experience discomfort, over-the-counter paracetamol can be used, but anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen should be avoided as they may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Your physiotherapist will provide personalised aftercare guidance.
